#guerilladh
by Alex Gil 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Hi all, I just published a few thoughts on digital humanities practice "in the shadows" that may interest our group. These thoughts start in 2013, when GO::DH was young. I've updated them a bit, since I never got a chance to make them public then. http://elotroalex.webfactional.com/guerrilladh/ This piece comes as a companion piece to the No Connect project, where we basically tweaked the static site generator Jekyll so that you could generate websites (even data-driven ones) and house them seamlessly in a USB, as opposed to a server on the internet. For me this is the prelude to a digital edition of Césaire, which I cannot publish on the internet because of copyright. Hope you enjoy the post. Looking forward to your comments. All best, Alex

Sent from Samsung MobileØyvind Eide <lister(a)oeide.no> wrote:Dear Domenico, Alex, and all, I think this is exactly the point. Many (all?) of us have experienced situations where multi-linguality led to ghettoisation — not the least at conferences. If working models of real time translation can be shown — and I believe we now have the tools and ideas making that quite likely — then those experiences can be countered by different ones. It will be extremely interesting to see what the call for papers for the first Nordic conference next year will lead to. Five countries, five currencies (of which one suspended from international trade), a population of some 25 million all together. A lot of diversity — but everybody (at least in academia) speaks and understands English. Will there be non-English papers? If so, can we make it worthwhile for international participants to attend them? Best, Øyvind 13. juli 2015 kl. 17:50 skrev Alex Gil <colibri.alex(a)gmail.com>: Dear Domenico, Just read your article and Crane's + the comments on Humanistica. Agreed on SCOPUS. Self fulfilling prophecy material at the behest of business interests. Very related to this conversation, I've been involved in heavy duty conversations these past few weeks on the oddly named MLMC and to a lesser extent the PC about language diversity, and I'm happy to report that we're making slow progress. Little by little we convince others that, and I quote the wonderful Glenn Worthey here, "we don't need to fight for the lingua franca." The lingua franca fights for itself. I know so many well meaning folks from outside and inside Europe and the US who defend the lingua franca model because they've had bad experiences with multi-lingual conferences or journals, or because they believe in a global community and think this is the only way to achieve one. We have to work with these folks to get them to see that we are talking about learning how to do translation right, and that true globality in the humanities is by definition, a new Babel--uncomfortable, but not crippling... Little by little. Your work with citations here is enormously helpful in this regard. Looking forward to your full article! a.

Re: [globaloutlookDH-l] CFP: Conference on translingual and transcultural digital humanities October 19-20, Estonian Literary Museum, Tartu, Estonia
by Mari Sarv 05 Jul '15

05 Jul '15

Dear all, everyone welcome to our conference! With best greetings Mari Sarv Conference on translingual and transcultural digital humanities October 19-20, Estonian Literary Museum, Tartu, Estonia Working with various (archival) material, researchers are often confronted with the problem that although both quantitative and qualitative methods in the humanities are quickly becoming more versatile, efficient and numerous, tools for translingual and transcultural analysis remain underdeveloped. The majority of tools for data mining and analysis are available in the biggest languages only, which makes it difficult to study the smaller or extinct ones or compare them to for example English. In fact, sometimes researchers don’t even have access to source texts of geographically close cultures because of language barrier (e.g. Estonian and Latvian are mutually incomprehensible). In the case of non-textual material, the limitations are not linguistic, in this case the access to metadata and -information, and cultural interpretations are important, and the challenges big data has to offer to non-textual transcultural research. Thus, it may not possible to get an adequate overview of the material or gain accurate insight as the results are blurred by technical difficulties. At the same time, the translingual and -cultural analysis has long tradition in different disciplines – history, religious studies, linguistics, etc – and introducing the possibilities and advances of digital tools, systems, standards, and the results of research to the academic community is greatly needed. In its ideas and ideologies, the conference is inspired by the work of the SIG of the Alliance of the Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) <http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/> Global Outlook::Digital Humanities (GO::DH) which aims to promote the collaboration among digital humanities researchers world-wide and to support the inclusion of the researchers from all geographic regions, cultures, languages and types of economies, and by <http://humanidadesdigitales.net/blog/2013/07/19/is-there-anybody-out-there- building-a-global-digital-humanities-community/> the plenary speech by Isabel Galina at the 2013 Digital Humanities ADHO conference in Nebraska; and of course by the necessity for the more thorough computational competence in our everyday work. The conference is third in the series of yearly digital humanities conferences in Estonia and includes a special panel on ongoing projects and developments in Estonian digital humanities. We welcome contributions from the following areas: * data-mining (incl visual, multimedia and other data) * working with data in various languages, incl small or extinct languages * translingual analysis * computational ontologies * cross-linguistic and -cultural research in the field of digital humanities * applications targeted at (usable with) various languages * the role of English as lingua franca in digital humanities, assets and drawbacks * compiling multilingual data collections (e.g. by crowdsourcing) * ideas, outlooks, projects and developments in Estonian digital humanities Please submit a proposal that contains your full name, institutional and disciplinary affiliation with a very brief academic CV, the title of your paper and an abstract of 200-250 words. Authors will be informed about the status of their submission by August 31, 2015. Participation fee of the conference is €50. The language of the conference is English. Deadlines: Abstract submission: August 15, 2015 Notification of acceptance: August 31, 2015 Conference starts: October 19, 2015 Send your proposals to: <mailto:digitaalhumanitaaria@gmail.com> digitaalhumanitaaria(a)gmail.com Mari Sarv & Liisi Laineste http://www.folklore.ee/dh/en/events/dh_conference_estonia_2015/ Estonian Literary Museum Vanemuise 42 Tartu 51003
